Graphite anode materials may become even more difficult to obtain from China as preliminary CVD rates are released. Listen to Two Minutes in Trade for more. 

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

What happens when a serial entrepreneur with seven businesses under his belt decides to go all-in on graphite machining—and does it with some of the fastest, most precise equipment on the planet? You get Matt Gawlik, and in this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, he brings the heat. Host Paul Van Metre sits down with Matt to unpack a no-BS journey through business wins, failures, and the strategies that separate thriving shops from the ones barely hanging on. From his early roots in a multi-generational manufacturing family to building 3D Graphite into a tightly focused, high-performing operation, Matt shares hard-won lessons about the value of specialization, the power of investing in elite equipment, and why systems—not micromanagement—should run your shop. His take on partnerships is equally honest: most are a sinking ship unless you go in with rock-solid agreements and aligned values. But the real anchor of this episode is Matt's perspective on sales. “Sales is the tip of the spear,” he says—and without a full pipeline, your business ends up serving the wrong customers and losing money in the process. He lays out how smart, honest marketing and brand clarity can unlock better-fit clients, smoother operations, and a more profitable shop. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to level up your manufacturing business, this episode delivers straight talk, sharp insight, and more than a few mic-drop moments.

Military-grade spyware, once the province of shadowy intelligence outfits, is now being handed over to local police forces. As an Ontario resident, I find this deeply unsettling. These tools are powerful, precise, and built for a level of strategic nuance that most municipal sometimes even provincial police simply aren't equipped to handle. It's like handing a ten-year-old a scalpel and asking them to perform surgery. The intentions might be sincere, but the training, context, and oversight just aren't there. And that gap between tool and user is where things start to slip where privacy erodes, rights get sidelined, and the line between public safety and state overreach gets dangerously blurry. What Is Spyware and How Does It Work? At its core, spyware is software designed to secretly infiltrate and monitor digital devices usually without the knowledge or consent of the person being targeted. Once installed, it can track online activity, harvest sensitive information, and even take control of device functions like cameras and microphones. Military-grade spyware, like NSO Group's Pegasus or Paragon's Graphite, takes this to another level. These advanced tools can penetrate even the most secure devices, including phones protected by encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, and Signal. Some spyware even uses "zero-click" exploits meaning the target doesn't need to click a suspicious link for their device to be compromised. This isn't just like wiretapping a phone call. Spyware can reveal a person's entire digital life recording private conversations, tracking real-time locations, logging browsing histories, and accessing stored files. For police, it's revolutionary. But for the rest of us? It's a chilling reminder that nothing is truly private anymore. Why Are Local Police Using Spyware? So, why are local police turning to such extreme surveillance measures? The short answer: encryption. As more people use encrypted communication platforms, traditional surveillance methods like wiretapping are becoming less effective. Criminal organizations, human traffickers, and other bad actors know how to hide their tracks using secure apps, creating a major challenge for law enforcement. Spyware gives police a way around these barriers by directly accessing the suspect's device and collecting evidence that would otherwise be out of reach. And there's public pressure, too. With high-profile crimes making headlines, law enforcement is under intense pressure to deliver fast results. Spyware, with its ability to gather and analyze large amounts of information in real time, can speed up investigations and improve the odds of making an arrest. In Canada, local police forces are increasingly adopting advanced surveillance technologies to stay ahead of tech-savvy criminals. But as these tools become more common, there's a growing concern: Who's watching the watchers? Ontario Police and "Graphite" Spyware Controversy A recent example that's sparked public debate is Ontario police's use of Graphite spyware. This highly advanced tool can bypass encrypted communications and operate without leaving a trace, meaning police can monitor individuals without them ever knowing. Police officials claim they only use Graphite in the most serious cases. But here's the catch there's little public information about how often it's used or what safeguards are in place. Without transparency, it's impossible to know whether police are sticking to serious crimes or deploying these powerful tools for more routine investigations. Civil liberties advocates are especially worried that spyware could be turned against people who challenge authority - journalists, political activists, or marginalized communities. And it's not just happening in Ontario. Across the globe, police forces are quietly adopting military-grade spyware, often without public input or clear legal oversight. RCMP's Use of Spyware It's not just local police getting in on the action. In 2022, the...

Graphite is a new image editor with an interesting architecture - it's a classic UI-driven app, an image-manipulation language, and a library of programmable graphics primitives that any Rust coder could use, extend or add to. The result is something that you can use like Photoshop or Inkscape, or make use of in batch pipelines, a bit like ImageMagick.Joining me to discuss it are Keavon Chambers & Dennis Kobert, who are hammering away on building a project that's potentially as demanding as Photoshop, but with a more ambitious architecture. How can they hope to compete? Perhaps in the short term by doing what regular image And is the future of image editing modular?–Graphite Homepage: https://graphite.rs/Graphite Web Version: https://editor.graphite.rs/Graphite on Github: https://github.com/GraphiteEditor/GraphiteSigned Distance Fields: https://jasmcole.com/2019/10/03/signed-distance-fields/Support Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoicesSupport Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@developervoices/joinKris on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/krisajenkins.bsky.socialKris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/

What is the primary concern regarding the use of WhatsApp and other encrypted messaging apps recently? Recent reports indicate that spyware, specifically "Graphite," has been used to target journalists and civil society members through zero-click attacks on encrypted apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal. This means that these apps are not as secure as previously thought, even though they employ end-to-end encryption. The spyware can infect devices without any user interaction and potentially compromise communication data. What are the security vulnerabilities identified in certain healthcare patient monitors? The FDA has highlighted cybersecurity issues in Contec's CMS8000 and Epsimed's MN-120 patient monitors. These devices, when connected to the internet, are susceptible to unauthorized remote control, software backdoors, and data breaches containing personal health information. One backdoor was linked to a Chinese IP address, raising additional concerns about foreign access to sensitive health data. Why has the Chinese AI chatbot, DeepSeek, been banned in Italy and Taiwan? Italy's data protection agency blocked DeepSeek because its developers did not adequately explain how user data is collected or confirm whether it's stored on Chinese servers. Taiwan's digital ministry also banned the use of DeepSeek by government departments, citing security concerns related to its Chinese origin. What led to DeepSeek's data being exposed online and what kind of information was affected? Cybersecurity firm Wiz discovered a significant amount of sensitive data from DeepSeek was left unsecured on the open internet due to an apparent misconfiguration. This data included over a million lines of data such as digital software keys and user chat logs. What is Senator Hawley's proposed bill regarding Chinese AI models, and what could be the consequences for individuals? Senator Josh Hawley has introduced the "Decoupling America's Artificial Intelligence Capabilities from China Act," which aims to criminalize the import, export, and collaboration on AI technology with China. Under the proposed law, knowingly downloading a Chinese AI model, such as DeepSeek, could lead to severe penalties, including up to 20 years in prison, a million-dollar fine, or both. The bill reflects growing concerns about national security and the potential for China to leverage AI for hostile purposes. How is Amazon being accused of tracking consumers, and what type of data are they allegedly collecting? Amazon is facing a class-action lawsuit accusing the company of secretly tracking consumers' movements through their cellphones via its Amazon Ads SDK, embedded within third-party apps. It's alleged that the SDK collects sensitive geolocation data without users' explicit consent, such as IP addresses, location, ISP, device info, and network performance metrics. This data is used to build a detailed picture of consumers' habits and preferences, raising privacy concerns about corporate surveillance. What restrictions are being placed on open-source contributions, and who is being affected? The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions are imposing restrictions on open-source contributions from sanctioned individuals and countries. Developers from nations such as Russia, Iran, and North Korea are facing challenges when contributing to open-source projects due to these sanctions. How is Cloudflare addressing image authenticity concerns, and what are the potential benefits? Cloudflare has implemented Content Credentials, a system based on C2PA standards, that embeds metadata into images to track their origin and modifications. This system helps distinguish between genuine and manipulated content. The benefits are significant, as Cloudflare's network handles approximately 20% of global internet traffic, greatly increasing the potential reach of the system. This helps create trust in digital images, and preserves the work of digital creators.

RollerCoaster Tycoon is a legendary title that's stood the test of time for 25 years. Now, thanks to the efforts of Graphite Lab, RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is finally coming to Switch to ignite the passion of the most diehard fans and introduce a new generation of players to the original title that kicked off the enduring franchise. I'm joined by two return guests: Matt Raithel, studio director at Graphite Lab, and Carly Francis, community manager at Atari and RCT fan number one. We talk about the process of bringing RCT Classic to Switch, how the controls work, and how to torment an inept player (myself). RCT Classic for Nintendo Switch is releasing on December 5th YouTube: https://youtu.be/aREJJ8OOYZ0 Preorder/Wishlist RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/rollercoaster-tycoon-classic-switch/ Join the Atari Club on Discord: https://discord.gg/atariclub Keep up with all things RCT: https://www.facebook.com/rollercoastertycoon https://x.com/coastertycoons https://www.instagram.com/realrct https://www.tiktok.com/@rollercoastertycoons Follow us: Atari: https://x.com/atari Graphite Lab: https://x.com/graphitelab Jason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoom Matt Raithel: https://x.com/raitheoshow

Inspired by techniques used in Asia, a Serbian couple, Dragan and Slavica Markovic, decided to change their careers and create pencils from old newspapers. New Pen makes its eco-pencils from graphite, recycled unsold and old newspapers, and edible, locally sourced, corn starch glue. Graphite is the only raw material the company procures abroad. “Manual labor dominates in our manufacturing process,” explains Slavica. “We start by cutting newspapers into equally sized strips and then we unfold the strips and hand-paste the graphite core into them,” she adds while demonstrating the process. In order for New Pen to be financially sustainable, Markovics had to build, with the help of a local engineer, a trio of simple machines that partially automate their production process. Quality control and boxing of pencils are also done manually. “We inspect every single graphite and colored pencil manually, to make sure that they are of the same length and nicely sharpened,” explains Slavica. Dragan says he had “a good fortune” to meet early on an executive of the Berlin-based Pelikan Group, one of the world's leading providers of school and stationery material, who recognized the appeal of New Pen's environment-friendly pencils and introduced them to German wholesalers. New Pen currently sells only a fraction, or around 5 percent, of its pencils in Serbia, while the remaining 95 percent are sold to wholesalers, primarily in Germany, but also Austria, Belgium, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and elsewhere. The company currently employs eight people and plans further expansion after it won last year financial and technical backing from a European Union project supporting the green transformation in Serbia. “Our company has several missions,” Dragan Markovic says. “The first is to make environmentally friendly products, and second to educate young people.” For that purpose, the company uses the boxes in which it packs its pencils as a calling card. Written in English and French, on the back of each box, buyers can read that “(our pencils) are fully recyclable, that no new trees were cut to make them, that our manufacturing process is energy efficient, and that they are healthy,” he adds.

https://karolinaadams.com/ https://www.instagram.com/karolina.adams/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100041266845687 Karolina Adams is an artist who illustrates life as it plays out in her head. With a B.F.A for Interior Architecture from Columbia College, she entered the field only to discover that mundane space planning and office environment were too rigid for her free spirit. In 2012 Karolina found her sketch book from college, submitted her drawings to a gallery and got accepted. Two other galleries soon followed. Karolina calls herself an introspective artist, meaning she purges her emotions with inks and graphite onto paper. Throughout her artwork, which includes acrylic paintings, two books and reflection cards, there is a striped socks character used to depict her feelings, emotions and stories. Her art “talks” about love and the happy moments that come with it, and life's struggles and triumphs. Her work visually expresses what it is to be human, depicting emotions in a raw and relatable way that resonate. She says when people view her work, they aren't studying the brushstrokes or the play of light on a subject; they are studying their own struggles, their own blessings, and their own heart. Karolina sketches, draws, and/or paints every day. Creativity, she says, recharges her and fuels her spirit. She calls her work quirky with a touch of sophistication, which reflects her playful, at times scrambled, character on the surface with an intense and serious core. Karolina has been a permanent gallery artist in Scottsdale and Tubac, AZ for the past three years and just recently became part of the Wit Gallery in MA. In addition, she has exhibited her work at Fountain Hills, AZ, Gilbert AZ, and Chicago IL.

Graphite is sort of the one-hit wonder of minerals. And that hit? Pencils. Everyone loves to talk about pencils when it comes to graphite. If graphite were to perform a concert, they'd close out the show with "pencils," and everyone would clap and cheer. But true fans of graphite would be shouting out "batteries!" Because graphite is a key ingredient in another important thing that we all use in our everyday lives: lithium ion batteries.Almost all of the battery-ready graphite in the world comes from one place: China. That's actually true of lots of the materials that go into batteries, like processed lithium and processed cobalt. Which is why it was such a big deal when, earlier this year, President Biden announced a tariff package that will make a bunch of Chinese imports more expensive. Included in this package are some tariffs on Chinese graphite. He wants to create a new battery future—one that doesn't rely so much on China. In this episode, we get down on the ground to look at this big supply chain story through the lens of one critical mineral. And we visit a small town that realizes that it might be the perfect place to create an American graphite industry. And we find that declaring a new battery future is one thing, but making it happen is another thing entirely.
